Mass Effect 2 Impressions. For everyone.

Well, I have said this before, but you have your own official thread! And I would not have expected anything different from Selnor...

But anyway, the game is a rubbish RPG, the lack of EXP from killing enemies is rubbish, and I preferred the health system of the last game. The cover system isn't that great and the loading times are long. I am also not sure if weapons and armour have any affect, and I would like to be able to buy some!

BUT, the game is awesome, though I wouldn't put the graphics above Uncharted 2, they are still fantastic, and the voice acting is 2nd to 1. The game is probably too streamlined, but I think the powers work slightly better so far, even if I would like to be able to upgrade things properly with greater choices in my personal upgrades. The characters are more interesting and with less defined roles for each character (and more importantly, no character achievements!), you have incentive to play with different characters each time, though Thane might be a permanent member because he just looks awesome.

I am having a lot of fun with it, even if I would like some more exploration. The combat is much better, though sometimes lacking in a little variety, the larger set pieces already deliver. I am not that far through the game though, I just had a power cut, but otherwise I would be racing through the game, it is certainly the best game of 2010.... so far
